Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn part 4 is action packed

The third episode of the Halo mini series, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, is the most action packed yet.

While the series started slow, the last two episodes have been anything but. In the second last part of this five episode series, viewers are introduced to the Master Chief and get a closer look at the alien race The Covenant.

The Master Chief, played by Canadian actor Daniel Cudmore, has an appropriately daunting presence on-screen and acts and moves exactly as you would expect him to. He aids UNSC cadets, led by series protagonist Lasky, escape the destroyed training facility where previous episodes took place, battling Covenant forces along the way. For long time Halo fans that have been waiting years to see real-world versions of Grunts, Elites and Jackals, this episode certainly delivers.

With Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, Microsoft and 343 Industries appear to have successfully moved the Halo franchise into live-action territory. And, if my interview with 343 Industries’ managing editor, Kevin Grace, is an indicator, then Forward Unto Dawn certainly won’t be the last live-action Halo film.

On November 1st, we will have a full review of Halo: Forward Unto Dawn up on our site.
